3 April 2016- "Finding the lost sheep"

____________

Celebrating Easter with Holiday Traditions

_______

"Finding the Lost Sheep"

This section is one of my favorites, because when missionaries work so hard going about His work- and you know seeds have been planted and lives have been changed. Though I sincerely believe, the missionaries will never know the full impact for good of their service.

"Laura" was baptized by her father who has been a member just 1.5 yrs.

The baptism
of the Hermano Juan

"This is Benjamin. He
is from a less active family that we have been working with; which includes his Mom and returned missionary brother."

"This is Rene. He is a
champion. He was one of those Golden investigator's that always went to church,
always accepted and completed invitations, and has made BIG changes in his
life"

"el bautismo de
menanzit"

"Pedro" was baptized and is such a great young man. This ward hasn't had a baptism since July!

Happy we were blessed to break that cycle.

Hermana Ivonne- Such a sweet blessing in her life.

Sad to announce this is one of the five houses we are closing down in a week.

We will be losing more missionaries than gaining.

Great attitudes in moving things forward in this remote area.

Busy obedient missionaries are happy missionaries.

"Obligating the Lord" for blessings...

When you serve the people-you learn to love them!

This was a flyer posted about security cameras and the picture showed our two Elders riding by on their bikes. "Security cameras" will catch our missionaries working hard.

They were more excited about being famous!
